Adrift

Author: Steven Callahan

Callahan’s harrowing tale of survival at sea grips you from the first page. His 76-day ordeal, adrift in a tiny raft after his sailboat sank, is recounted with raw honesty and surprising humor. I found myself holding my breath during his encounters with sharks and marveling at his ingenuity in catching fish. The author’s introspective moments and vivid descriptions of the vast, lonely ocean left me pondering the resilience of the human spirit long after I finished the book.

Survival is not about being fearless. It's about making a decision, getting on and doing it.
